Been a longtime fan of Hurl & Cars R Coffins, so my excitement for seeing this can’t really be put into words. Let’s just go with rad. If you want one of these Levi’s / Cars R Coffins denim jackets, you’d better act quickly as they only produced 15! Shoot him an email if you’d like to snag one.

This may be old news to you, but if you haven’t had a chance to check out the entire Crew and Trucker Jacket collaboration, read the press release below with the tailor’s words from each jacket.

So about a month ago I received a pair of Levi’s Commuter Jeans in the mail and was eager to see how they stood up to current quiver of pants. Despite the warm July and August temperatures here in Burlington, I still found those cooler days when wearing jeans made sense. Plus, the nights have been cooling off pretty quickly over the past couple weeks, giving me the perfect opportunity to test the reflective inner lining out.

My first impression riding in these was that they were a little stiffer than most of my other pants (maybe it’s because I haven’t worn denim in a while), but after a few days of my daily commute and errands I found them to break-in like your favorite baseball glove. They hold their shape well and the added height in the back of the waist is a nice touch. Definitely a fan, thanks Levi’s!

I got a pair of the new Levi’s Commuter jeans in the mail the other day and so far am really impressed! I’ve been wearing these for the past two days, working and doing my regular commuting/errands and I’m really starting to appreciate the small cycling-specific details the more I ride them. The integrated U-lock holster makes stashing the Mini-Evo even easier. Speaking of stashing things, there’s a zipper pocket above the two back pockets for keeping whatever fits comfortably. The stretch and extra length come in handy as well as the reflective seams; I felt a little safer cruising intersections last night. I also find the extra height in the back of the waist to be nice especially while riding. So far I’m having good feelings about the new Commuter line from Levi’s. I’ll let you know what I think in another week after they break-in a bit.

I’ve been eying The Commuter line by Levi’s for a while now, watching it come together and it looks like their new 511-based Commuter Jean is gonna be a winner. Just look at all these well-thought out features:

Utility waist band – specially designed for u-lock storage

Higher back rise – providing additional coverage when riding

NanoSphere® Technology – applied to make fabric water resistant, dirt repellant and durable
